12:54 hdl hi jcamins
12:55 Irma left #koha
12:56 jcamins I have a question about holds that I hope you might be able to help me with.
12:56 jcamins If a library has the holds allowed column in the circ rules set to 5, should that mean that only 5 patrons can place a hold on any given item?
12:57 hdl Nope that means a given patron can only place 5 holds at once.
12:58 hdl mmm.... But maybe consequence of the calculation is what you describe
12:58 jcamins So if only 5 people can place a hold on an item, that means there's a bug.
12:59 hdl I think so.
12:59 jcamins Okay.
12:59 jcamins Thanks.
12:59 hdl have you seen that ?
12:59 jcamins I don't know.
12:59 jcamins One of our libraries said they had that problem, but they didn't give any details.

20:31 rangi morning
20:31 druthb hi, rangi. :)
20:31 rangi heya
20:31 jcamins Good morning.
20:43 ebegin Hey!  Anybody know how to install SMS::Send on CentOS ?
20:46 rangi cpan?
20:47 ebegin I was told that CPAN is not the way to install package on CentOS...
20:48 rangi no idea then, i always use debian, or debian based distros
20:49 ebegin rangi, I usually use debian too. But it's not possible with this client
20:49 rangi :(
20:52 rangi i guess just google for a .rpm of it?

20:56 huginn Bug 5579: critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, Remove items from biblioitems.marcxml
20:56 jcamins Yeah, I saw that.
20:56 jcamins Pretty exciting.
20:56 rangi yep, we need to give it a bit of testing, but it looks pretty tight, so should make 3.4
20:56 rangi which is awesome
20:57 druthb gmcharlt++
20:58 rangi and my memcached patches got signed off, using that for session management means a good speed boost and lots less touching the db
20:58 jcamins That would be great, because sync_items_to_bibs takes forever.
20:58 rangi yeah it speeds up circ a bunch

21:23 magnuse so paul_p will look at you while you look at acq? ;-)
21:24 cait grr
21:24 magnuse hehe
21:25 rangi hehe
21:25 cait be careful - it's only a wall separating us!
21:25 magnuse oh no, i forgot...
21:25 rangi nice hotel? i see it has internet at least :)
21:26 magnuse it sure does - everything else is ok, nothing fancy
21:26 cait yep
21:26 rangi cait: our clocks changed, so its only 9.26am here
21:26 * cait tries to calculate the time difference
21:26 cait 10?
21:27 magnuse yeah, i think that makes it ten hours
21:27 magnuse it's so much easier when it's 12...

21:29 rangi its not windy until my fence falls down again
21:29 cait hehe
21:29 magnuse hehe
21:29 space_librarian fair enough. I will take that definition of windy
21:32 liw rangi, I remember in Wellington when the wind would take my by my oilskin coat and move me (quite a feat, given how big I am)
21:33 rangi :)
21:33 rangi they used to have ropes at the crossings, to hold on to, so you didnt get blown into the road waiting to cross
21:34 magnuse but they don't any longer?!?
21:34 rangi naw, they have redesigned lots of streets
21:34 rangi and buildings
21:34 rangi to break up the wind
21:34 rangi so it doesnt tunnel as much
21:34 magnuse ah, vlever
21:34 magnuse clever

21:37 cait seems like it was a quiet sunday on koha's mailing lists
21:37 space_librarian that's fantastic.

21:41 * magnuse is shamefully behind in keeping up with the lists
21:41 cait rangi: looking at the patches from gmcharlt/hdl
21:41 cait rangi: will this also solve the limitation on items for a record?
21:50 rangi not sure about that, but i think so
21:51 magnuse not when you want to export records as iso 2709...
21:51 rangi yeah  it would only be exporting
21:51 rangi but using them inside koha would be fine
21:52 rangi as long as you -x with rebuild_zebra
21:52 cait ok :)
21:52 cait will make the bigger libraries happy
21:53 cait rangi: we coudl have separate holding records for expor
21:53 cait t
21:53 rangi yep
21:53 rangi or export them as marcxml
21:54 cait hm, marcxml sounds even better
21:54 magnuse iso2709 must die... ;-)
21:54 rangi :)
22:02 magnuse time to get some sleep - g'night #koha
22:03 magnuse left #koha
22:03 cait hehe
22:03 cait think I should do the same probably
22:12 eythian the packages will be making -x default soon.
22:14 cait eythian: read your accounts thing at the airport :)
22:14 cait can you do me a big favour rewriting it?
22:14 eythian cait: cool
22:14 eythian depends, but I can try :)
22:14 cait stop it from saving things like "Payment thanks" to the database
22:14 cait make it translatable
22:15 eythian oh, sure. That's a good idea.
22:15 cait It would save me a lot of evil jquery magic
22:15 cait and complaints
22:16 eythian I'll have to work out how that works, but I'll try.
22:16 cait ok :)
22:16 cait I think you would need to have types that tell what it is - not relying on the description to actually find out what it is
22:16 cait ?
22:16 cait if that makes any sense
22:16 eythian sorta.
22:17 cait hehe
22:17 eythian Even if the template pre-populates the message box with a string or something, then it'll be translatable by magic.
22:17 eythian also would make it editable.
22:18 eythian (can't remember right now if it currently is or not)
22:18 cait hm my database here is almost empty
22:19 cait perhaps it's a template problem mostly. not sure we have cases where the description shows different thigns while the account type is still the same
22:19 eythian my $usth = $dbh->prepare(
22:19 eythian "INSERT INTO accountlines
22:19 eythian (borrowernumber, accountno,date,amount,descriptio​n,accounttype,amountoutstanding)
22:19 eythian VALUES (?,?,now(),?,'Payment,thanks','Pay',?)"
22:19 eythian );
22:19 eythian
22:19 eythian it's that sort of hardcoded.
22:20 cait I know :(
22:20 cait and 'Payment, thanks -' is what it shows
22:20 cait I was looing at that a long while back but was a bit too big for me
22:20 cait sometimes the title is saved with the description
22:20 eythian oh, yeah. That's actually coming from somewhere else in the same file
22:21 eythian I'm planning on pulling the description stuff up a layer or two anyway.
22:21 eythian Probably all the way up to the template.
22:21 cait thx! I will be happy to test :)
22:21 eythian There's no longer going to be a need to store the user info in the description, as that's a seperate column now.
22:21 eythian cool :)
22:21 cait eythian: sounds good!
22:24 cait I think my problem was, that I wanted part of the information in the description column, because it was not available somewhere else
22:25 cait and had no idea how to fix it
22:25 eythian yeah. The old accounts system had grown quite ugly.
22:25 eythian The new one will be a lot more modular
22:25 cait :)
22:29 cait ok, have to get some sleep for tomorrow :)
22:29 cait eythian++ :) and good night all!
